    Yes, when these are seen "side-on" they already have a description: Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud. These are also seen (as horizontal waves) in the lee of islands when seen from low earth orbit. I think we may be seeing a different aspect of the same thing with the undulatus asperatus. At http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/ some of the asperatus pictures in the gallery definitely blend into what I'd call lenticular clouds. I believe there is a continuum of forms rather than actual separate and always distinct formations. The "Cloud Appreciators" call lenticular clouds "cap/banner." Here in Colorado lenticular clouds are often also found downwind (usually east) of the mountain peaks that cause them. The classification really is artificial, and I really believe in a continuum of forms.
